Socialist country in Europe whose streets paved with gold attract crowds from far and wide to come and partake of government (taxpayer) support: housing is impossible to find. Have been searching for 10 years and can't find open listings. Meanwhile, this section of the city has become a favored offloading zone for newcomers. The logical strategy of the government here is to provide them with free housing (which they manage to locate while we can't find a single opening) including enough bedrooms for the children. This comes with free health insurance, free public transport, a monthly stipend for each child, and a monthly paycheck for the parents. Meanwhile, the country's own college graduates and working people are struggling to keep up and living like rats with their kids stuffed into micro apartments. Listings never hit the market, they seem to be handed out to those who have been placed first in line. Maybe the sane California residents should come here: just don't admit you're from a functional country, because you won't be entitled to any helpful pearls being thrown and it is a hard journey.
